My Retriever Secret Unveiled

francinehardaway — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:44:16 +0000

I can retrieve. Today in the dog park I finally let my secret out; I’ve always known how to retrieve. I just didn’t think they were ready for me. Uncle Dan found me the orange balls, and I decided it was time to tell all.

Steve Jobs’ Biography

I couldn’t put it down. Even though the cover slid off it and got stuck on the floor of the office, I kept the rest of the book and devoured it. Mommis has great taste in books. But I am glad this man didn’t own me. It doesn’t sound like he would have been someone I would understand, and it didn’t seem like he had much joy in his life, I am all about joy. But I am also about Zen, although I don’t recognize how he lived his life as the Zen I know.

Joe’s Birthday Party

francinehardaway — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:12:00 +0000

Every morning we jump for joy

When we see you, boy oh boy!

Then we get our treat

And we think that is really neat.

On this special day

We want to say

Hey Hey Hey

Happy Birthday

To our favorite Candy Manz

From your number one fanz

The Los Olivos Woofus Gang

Mommis was away, but it was Joe’s birfday this weekend, and the park peeps, including Parker, Wendy’s special dog who was found in the park and rescued by Wendy, had a big party. Pam.I.Am Shakespeare, mother of Wrigley, the dog who loves to shower in the sprinklers, wrote Joe a poem for us and we all signed it.

And Pam also baked a cake with a dog on it.

The party was for Joe’s birthday, but it was also a big wet thank you for the treats he gives us every morning. And I mean Every. Morning.

Happy Birthday, dog’s best friend Joe.

This hotel lobby has three different sizes of dog treats for me, canine toilet paper, and USA Today to shred.

Chillin’ on Mommis’ Bed

Sammy doesn’t usually let me up here, but tonight he was kind of mellow and I got to hug Mommis for a while.

What She Doesn’t Know

Is that I much prefer to sleep NEXT to my bed. I don’t want to make her feel bad, but it’s hot.

Mommis is with GOAP

Mommis has been gone for a week in Latin America with Uncle Ed and a bunch of people who don’t know us. Why she would be off touring dogs in other countries remains a mystery when she has me and Sammy waiting for her.

She tells us that in Santiago dogs don’t have to wear clothes and can self-walk in the business district.

But in Buenos Aires, they walk in packs and poop in fenced runs. Don’t they look miz? I guess we are very lucky.

We Do A Lot of Waiting

She likes it when we wait for her in the window, I know she does. The only trouble is that table’s slippery, and every once in a while I can’t get off as gracefully as I’d like.

I am a Lion

Help! I got dropped off at the spa this morning and without any warning I emerged as a lion! Do you like it?
